One of the better episodes so far from the 13-part series of the Hammer House of Horror 1980.

Interesting story to follow where, just like the main character, you can no longer distinguish between reality and dream. The various strange nightmares are fun in design. The acting is solid, especially the main character Norman is well portrayed. Lolly is always fun to watch with her different looks that seem to fit into the story as a detail. 6/10
